One of the nation’s top defensive end prospects in the 2023 class was in Death Valley this past Saturday as a spectator for Clemson’s spring game.
Osceola High School (Kissimmee, Fla.) four-star D-end Derrick LeBlanc traveled to Tigertown to attend the contest with his trainer and fellow class of 2023 Sunshine State standout Payton Kirkland, a four-star offensive tackle from Dr. Phillips High School in Orlando.
“It was a good time,” LeBlanc said to The Clemson Insider. “I liked the way they played D-line. It’s similar to how we play it.
“It’s not even full capacity, and you could feel the energy and all that, and the people make you feel welcome.
